Life without Anorexia

My motto is
'Dont let the sadness of your past & the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present'

My life at the moment is completely different to how it once was. I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia and depression as well as struggling with self harm and overexercising. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
And since 2012 i have been declared healthy from my eating disorder.

I have been blogging for 7 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.

I now blog about recovery, my life, veganism and positivity!

Shopping.

Today i realised... how much i hate shopping!. Usch.
  Hate, hate, hate it!! I dont understand people who constantly find things in shops, who constantly buy stuff... Me.... i walk around a shop for like 3 minutes, find nothing... and then i might find one item and as soon as i put it on, i take it off again. 

 Or.... i find like 10 different items... but each one just sits/looks horrible.....

It feels like whenever i dont have money, thats when there is about a hundred things i want... but once i have money... its like the list just dissappears and i cant find anything in the shops, and it feels like i dont need anything. Its like they say, we always want what we dont have!!

But my problem also is that, i hate buying things for myself...im always like, nah.. i dont need that..  (even though i might actually!) So my shopping trips, almost always result in nothing bought!
  And also. .... i hate shops. I hate trying on clothes. I hate browsing for clothes.... nah. Its only sometimes where i actually find something where i am like, Oh my gosh. I have to have this!!

Normal clothes shopping sucks. But one thing which i have no problem buying is sports clothes... Seriously. That is the reason why my mum is so wary to actually give me money to buy clothes, not because im a shop-a-holic... but because, i wont actually buy normal everyday clothes... (Because of the reasons above) but i will buy sports clothes.... You can never have enough sports bras or sports shorts :) But of course... you cant wear them everyday... though i definitely would if i could!! I mean, i wear my sports/running pants like 50% of the time!! Sports lcothes are just mor comfortable.
  And i feel better in sports clothes!! haha....

But today, i had to refrain from buying a new sports bra and new sports shorts... even though i do need (haha... or so i tell myself!)
  
Shopping just isnt for me... -_- I was always anti-sjopping when i was younger. And my mum would usually leave me in the car (DOnt worry, i wanted to stay there!9 and her and my sister would go shopping!!! I hated it.
  And then there was a period where i could have been  considered a shop-a-holic. ... and now im back to my hate shopping!! :) 
Well, atleast im saving money!!


^^Just because i didnt buy, didnt mean i didnt have to try :)
